the world was bright and glowing until
that grew into a scorching heat but then
squelched
not gone, merely oppressed by a blanket of humidity.
The clouds grew and the electricity flickered and
the thunder became all we could hear- not sure of its intent
but with a backbeat of steady drumming
the rain came down soothing the parched world below.
And then the sky was blue.
